Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward, allowing for ventilation even during a light rain. Often used in combination with other window styles or placed higher on walls for privacy, awning windows are easy to open and close. Compare All Awning Windows.

Casement windows—with hinged sashes that swing free and clear of the opening—can be relatively small and still meet egress requirements. This makes them ideal for basement egress and for other areas where space is limited. The overall size of this “smallest” egress casement window is 8 sq. ft.

On double hung windows, both sashes in the window frame are operable or move up and down. On single hung windows, the top sash is fixed in place and does not move, but the bottom sash is operable.

In a single-hung window the bottom panel, or sash, moves vertically, while the upper sash remains stationary. They are cheaper than double-hung windows; in fact, according to Sven Kramer of Stanek Windows by Great Day Improvements, LLC, single-hung windows can cost 10-20% less than their double-hung competitor.

Cost Factors. Replacing a window costs an average of $300 to $700 per window. This assumes that the replacement window is going into an existing and structurally sound frame on a ground floor. Replacing windows in a typical three-bedroom, single-story home with ten windows can cost from $3,000 to $7,000.

For example, wood windows are going to cost more than vinyl windows. On average, plan on spending about $600 to $1,000 for each Pella window, including the cost of installation. Individual windows begin at around $300 each and run upwards of $2,500.

They cost a lot. The pricing depends on the local dealer. They are sold and installed by independent companies, not by Andersen itself so the prices will vary. We typically see them being offered in the range of $1000 per window or more including installation, but you may be able to find them less than that.

Most vinyl windows last between 20 and 40 years on average. Windows installed in an area exposed to the bright sun for most of the day will not last as long. Heat can also play a role in window deterioration, so hot climates might require more frequent window replacement.

Here’s our estimate of average life expectancy for several types of windows: Aluminum – 20 to 30 years. Fiberglass – 20 to 40 years. Insulated (double pane) – 10 to 20 years.

Even the highest quality brands and professional installations eventually weaken or break down. The average lifespan of residential windows is 15 to 20 years. Well-maintained products may last beyond the 20-year mark, but once your windows start approaching two decades old, it’s time to think about replacing them.
